The KiWAV 65N is a compact 2.5-inch round motorcycle bar-end mirror with a CNC-machined aluminum body and a 320R convex mirror lens. Its more strongly curved convex surface provides a wider field of view from a relatively small mirror head.
This guide covers the installation of KiWAV 65N bar-end mirrors. Because the 65N series is available with different mounting hardware for different handlebar configurations, always use the mounting kit specified for your motorcycle or handlebar setup.
How to Install 65N Bar-End Mirrors
Quick answer: First confirm that you have the correct 65N mounting hardware for your handlebar. Remove or prepare the existing bar-end hardware as required, install the supplied 65N mounting system, secure the mirror at the handlebar end, then adjust the mirror head to the desired viewing position.
Do not force a mounting adapter, bolt, or expansion system that does not match the handlebar configuration.
Check the Mounting Setup Before Installation
The 65N series is available for different types of motorcycle handlebar ends, including threaded and hollow-bar applications.
Before installation, confirm that the supplied mounting hardware matches your motorcycle. Depending on the 65N version, the mounting system may differ.
If you are unsure how your handlebar end is constructed, see our Complete Guide to Installing Motorcycle Bar-End Mirrors for an explanation of common threaded, expansion, and other bar-end mounting systems.

Position the 65N Mirror
The 65N uses a compact round mirror head with a convex lens, so a small change in mirror angle can noticeably change the field of view.
Sit on the motorcycle in your normal riding position and adjust the mirror until you have the best usable rearward view. The mirror can be positioned according to the mounting configuration and riding preference.
Final Installation Check
Before riding:
- Confirm that the bar-end mounting system is securely installed.
- Check that the mirror does not rotate or loosen by hand.
- Adjust the convex mirror to provide a useful rearward view.
- Turn the handlebars fully left and right and check for interference.
- Make sure the mirror and mounting hardware do not interfere with the throttle, controls, fuel tank, or fairing.
